| - In a world that is trending increasingly towards online streaming or summer blockbusters, Sundance is a great change of pace. Some people just want to watch a well made film in a comfortable auditorium and not deal with hassles. If that sounds like you, I think you'll enjoy this theater.
You pick your seat when you buy it. While not everyone follows the rules once in the theater, this is still a great system to ensure you aren't stuck in the front row on a big premiere night. The seats are by and large comfortable, and the screens are fairly average size. No big IMAX here, 3D, or 500 seat room. Just a typical theater room.
The concessions serve alcohol (always a plus) along with more refined sounding menu choices. That said, I've had a decent amount of the food and it's not that great, not to mention very expensive. Speaking of price, the ticket prices have a mind of their own and change frequently based on some kind of Guerilla math they've come up with. This is my biggest knock on Sundance. But alas, you pay a premium in order to not put up with crappy films, crappy people, and most importantly - crappy advertisements before your movie. The movies have a few previews and then they start, unlike most other theaters in this age where you are bombarded by silly cartoon characters telling you to be quiet and used car salesmen offering the local town's deal of the day.
Sundance is a great reminder that going to the movies can still be quite the enjoyable experience when done properly
